Mission Statement

Waubonsee Community College is a public, compre­hensive community college that was organized in 1966, as mandated by the Illinois Community College Act, to provide education and training services for individuals in portions of Kane, Kendall, DeKalb, LaSalle and Will counties of District 516. The philo­sophy of Waubonsee Community College is based on the premise that education is the corner­stone of a literate, democra­tic society; that learning is a lifelong process; and that the pursuit of knowledge must be supported by institutional policies that demonstrate the values of accessibility, service, value, quality and innovation.

Commitments

Provide quality educational programs and services that are academically, geographically, financially, tech­nologically and physically accessible to meet the educa­tional and training needs of a diverse, multi­cultural population and the organizations within our community.

Maintain institutional policies, programs, practices and efforts that provide an emphasis on a learning-centered college for students and the community.

Develop the intellectual, physical, social, cultural and career potential of the individual.
